BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A blistering series of attacks, coming nearly hourly, wounded seven U.S. soldiers in Iraq on Tuesday, and the United States offered a $2,500 reward for information leading to the arrest of anyone who kills a coalition soldier or Iraqi policeman.

Here is the rest of the story:

No, no, no.

Hang on.

The war was over months ago, the day they toppled Saddam Hussein's statue in the square, and America and Iraq cheered in unison...

You know, in WW2 we lost almost 500 people a day, dead.

And russia was loosing around 9132 people a day.

Oh my goodness, we have 7 wounded....forgive my sarcasm but really.

They shouldn't be making such a big deal out of this, this is proof the news is liberal.

Blistering attacks, and wounded only seven?

Journalistic license is being used thickly, it appears.

The really fun part is that the numbers we are loosing in "policing" is nothing compared to what is in the works.

Iraq is our new forward base to strike at the rest of the OPEC members, who still pose a threat to us. Loosing a soldier a day is considered "acceptable losses" in order to maintain such a forward base.

I would say that the losses we will suffer when we walk into Iran will be at least double what we suffered in Iraq... and we still have to deal with Syria and Saudi Arabia yet.

Of course, this doesnt take into account the massive TRUE terrorism that will spring up if and when we do begin to move into other muslim countries... and of course, theres NK and China in the wings, just waiting for the US to get "distracted".
